When We Fell

With the threat of hell hanging over my head like a halo

I was made to believe in a couple of beautiful truths

That eventually had the effect of completely unravelling

The powerful curse put on me by you

When you set the table

And when you chose the scale

Did you write a riddle

That you knew they would fail?

Did you make them tremble

So they would tell the tale?

Did you push us when we fell?

If my mother cries when I tell her what I have discovered

Then, I hope she remembers she taught me to follow my heart

And if you bully her like you've done me with fear of damnation

Then, I hope she can see you for what you are

When you set the table

And when you chose the scale

Did you write a riddle

That you knew they would fail?

Did you make them tremble

So they would tell the tale?

Did you push us when we fell?

Then what am I afraid of?

Whom did I betray?

In what medieval kingdom

Does justice work this way?

You knew what would happen

And made us just the same

Then You, my Lord, can take the blame
